Lindale Texas...man I used to live not far from Lindale. I grew up in Karnack. How is every thing in east Texas?

 

East Texas os OK, but I would love to go back home to Arkansas.

Glad to see you escaped from Karnack... even though Karnack used to be the best mud ride of the year.

Greg... that is the only thing I miss in Texas lol I live in Oklahoma now so there is all kinds of places to ride. If you ever get the chance come ride at lil Sahara.. it is awsome. There is a huge ride coming up memorial day. I know I will be there.

I would love to come but I do not have a sport bike. Jason is going to race his banshee and says I can borrow his 650... it is under consideration. We are riding at Broken Bow the weekend of the 8-10 of March. We are staying at the whipperwill cabin #14. You are welcome to join us... the kids and wives are coming too.

Greg

 

cool man I will keep that in mind... My email addy is sungrex@hotmail.com we can work out the details I am alway intersted in always finding new people and newplaces to ride.
Take care yall have fun in Broken Bow.

stock zilla and piped raptor are real close. Stock zilla will make about 51 hp and stock raptor about 35. Raptors respond very well to pipes and Ct's pipe kit brings them up to 50 hp but they are still heavier but it would be close. When my zilla just had a lrd pipe and 39 mm carb it toasted many piped raptors easily.

 

Why a stock 'Zilla? Why don't you just stick your finger in the pipe? That ought to help the Raptor a little.

 

OK! OK!
looks like I opened up a can of worms here...

anyways, let's take the scientific approach"
(IF) a stock Zilla puts out 51 rwhp... and in the latest issue of dirtwheels the best Raptor pipe tested put out 46 rwhp... THEN it should technically be a power-to-weight ratio of what quad SHOULD BE faster... and I assume the Zilla is slightly lighter than a Raptor; therefor, with 4 more rwhp and weighing in at a few less pounds, the Zilla should prevail, and thus, you have the answer to my question... HYPOTHETICALLY speaking of course[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

What is funny is that you knew the answer to your own question...heck you posted it in another forum to. Heh I guess you like to see how you can get people stirred up. You never did answer my question though...why pavment instead of sand or dirt. I am curious of why that surface. In your oppinion of course.

with pavement, there is no loss of power... once power gets to the real wheels

in dirt, or sand... most of the emphasis is on traction control.... who has the best tires

I don't want tires to be a factor.... obviously, you could have a punched-out Zilla on nitrous with bald tires.... and it wouldn't do squat to a stock Yamaha Blaster with paddles on it...

see... that's why I wanted to take traction out of the picture...

now all you have to do is keep the front end on the gound!!! LOL
